DAKOTA

My name is Dakota. I am 8 years old and have two brothers and a sister. We are Quinault. My brother and I make spirit animal necklaces at www.littlebusinessmen.com. My spirit animal is a cougar because I am strong, athletic, and independent. We like spirit animals because they can teach us that everyone is special. Spirit animals show how we are all connected.

I made these spirit animal necklaces. A cougar is my spirit animal. They are special because they are strong, independent, brave, and athletic. The next is a whale which we saw in Alaska this year. Whales are playful, smart, and loving. We make a lot of spirit animal necklaces but these necklaces are special because they started with pictures I made. They are fun to sell and people love learning about their spirit animal.
